just have her do this if she is afraid of running out of ramz

Don't be stupid! You can't do that! Those RAMs go to the keyboards, and the new monitor would need interwebz RAMses, wich Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and the other people working at the Intel, have not made legal to download off of that place where you go on Facebook.

Nah it was 3 sections of the circle.

3 sections mean a connection error.

Normally it's caused by it getting so hot that the connections don't, well, connect anymore.

 

For a prank you can pull the HDMI cable slightly out, if you do it just right, it will cause a RROD.

Awwww I'm a bad friend...

Or he had gone out brought another and was so happy that we could play online that he said to keep it.

I didn't give all the facts as I didn't think they were relevant to the question so don't judge me as your talking to a guy who can't haggle because he feels guilty doing so.

I had to work on a computer in an office building, it was running an AMD Opteron x6 that somebody told him to overclock. it had a Nf-f12 but the exhaust fan on the computer was not plugged in, the guy wondered why his computer was shutting down occasionally. the heat was building up in his case that had no ventilation, and shutting down when it could not handle it any more. 

his company also made him encrypt everything with a thumbprint. that coupled with 6 monitors and this was a very difficult job. once we got the fan in his temps weren't that bad.

My English teacher's printer has fallen into disuse for several months because I cannot install drivers without appropriate administrator credentials. The printer (HP OfficeJet 4500) still acts as a standalone copier.

 

Today she wanted to make a copy of something at lunch so she gave me the pages and had me do it. When I started the copy, the feeder on the front grabbed the blank page, crumpled it, and returned a "Paper Jam- Please Remove Paper and Press OK" on the screen. 

 

After several repeats of this I decided to take a look inside to see if anything was gumming up the works. So I unplug it, carry it over to a desk, flip it over, and remove the jam door.

 

Next to the paper entry roller was a bronze paper clip a tad longer than Linus' nose, all mashed up and bent.

 

I removed it and it turned out that the printer was having trouble printing (tried to print but nothing came out, when it did the cleaning the blocks of ink printed fine) so I gave up on the thing.

 

When I pulled the clip out my English teacher said "I thought there would be a dead mouse in there, so that's what fell!"

 

As for the reason the paper clip was there, she had been using the top of the printer to store papers.

guys were almost at 200 pages!!! :o  :o  :o  :o

The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on port priority. The RPS metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches.

Only Abate, Axe, and Wobbles can save us.

I managed to convince one of my friends that my 465 is better than his R9 270X (he doesn't know anything about hardware)

[AMD Athlon 64 Mobile 4000+ Socket 754 | Gigabyte GA-K8NS Pro nForce3 | OCZ 2GB DDR PC3200 | Sapphire HD 3850 512MB AGP | 850 Evo | Seasonic 430W | Win XP/10]

In my IT class we had to select PC parts for a build that would be used by an animator. There was no budget so I decided to choose the i7 4770k and a GTX 780 because that is substantial and I used the PC part picker site. My friend sitting next to me on his PC saw the website I was on and went on it aswell; he decided to choose the most expensive parts. Basically he had no idea and chose an Intel Xeon processor for an animators build, I face palmed. At the top of the PC part picker site it said" Warning: These parts have potential issues/incompatibilities.". I noticed he did not choose a CPU cooler because the Xeon does include a stock CPU cooler.

People argued about if hard drives gained weight when you wrote to them, and it probably took up a couple of pages. Might be a little sarcastic.
